California Fruits in the East.
CHICAGO, February 16th.-Oranges are in
good supply, but moderate sales are made.
Still the demand was inadequate to the
supply. Some of the oranges, especially
Floridas, on sale are poor, and tend
to create weakness. The prices range
Riverside 81 25 to 81 so; California, navel,
oranges, So so TO s. so. Light stocks keep
the dried fruit market in clean and
firm condition. Sales at present are of a
moderate volume. Jobbers report the
country trade as rather slow since the break
ing up of the winter and the bad condition
of the country roads Confidence is felt in
the future of the market, and some pretty
stiff bids, it is said, have been made for GER
tain kinds of fruit for future delivery
Apples are quotably at a fair sale, either
sun-driad or evaporated, and this is
about the only line of fruit of
which there are any offerings ON open

Aggravated Assaults by Strikers.
New YORK, February 16th-Assaults by
desperate strikers become more numerous
every day. Three aggravated cases were
reported this morning. In one of them
the results may be fatal. The SupeIin-
tendent of the Old Dominion Line pier
said this morning: Although the strike
is ended, l 90 not feel easy when l think of
the opportunities there are for evil minded
persons among the strikers to do injury
under cover of darkness" Other steam
ship men express the same feeling. The
strikers who loiter about the Morgan pier
are defiant. They block the street corners,
yet the police do not clear them out.
A Deal in Iron Rails.
NEw YORK, February 10Th. = A promi-
nent Philadelphia broker has Just made
deal to break down old iron rails in the
interest of some of the large Pennsylvania
iron manufacturers. 1t is said the latter
will suspend purchases for awhile. The
broker will bring all pressure to force out
spectators so as to weaken the market at
large, and when he gets the price down to
S23 per ton al tide-water, he is authorized
to buy 10000 tons by parties to the deal,
and upon the transaction he is guaranteed
| 25 per cent. commission, or $500. The West
has been a free purchaser of old rails of
late, and il is possible that customers from
that quarter will come in and prevent
prices going to the anticipated level.
Tumble in the Coffee Market.
New YORK. February 16th.-There was
a heavy tumble on the price Of Brazil coffee
yesterday. The liberal daily arrivals at
Rio and Santos caused more urgent offers
from these points. Increasing shipments
| to the United States, including some par
GELS from Europe, against the very limited
distributiye demand here made the load
too heavy and finally led TO pronounced
| effort of the longs tc unload. Some thirty
points decline took place, and at one time
| the matter looked panicky. The market
closed shade steadier at decline.

The Flooded Village.
Lyons (Mich), February 10th. = The
water is gradually receding, but this fact
gives no comfort, inasmuch as the coming
of the gorged waters from above the flood
will undoubtedly become greater and more
disastrous than has yet been seen. The
river still plows through the business part
Of the village, and the losses are augment
ing hourly. This morning it is freezing.
